- Chapter 549
Seeing the dangerous light flashing from the muzzle of the magic cannon, Dean Carmen was obviously a little distracted.
Chen Daolin ignored the sluggish dean, but carefully turned off the tidal magic engine, stopped the infusion of energy, and the light on the magic cannon gradually faded and dispersed.
Immediately, Chen Daolin took out a fist-sized crystal stone from under the base of the magic cannon.
"Colorful stones?" Carmen's eyes lit up again.
"Yes, it's the colorful stone."
Carmen looked obviously surprised: "Where did you get this thing? Is it such a big piece?"
Chen Daolin shrugged his shoulders and did not answer.
Am I going to tell you that I dug this thing out of the wall outside the small space world in the Snowy Mountains?
"Basically speaking, this colorful stone is only used to temporarily store energy." Chen Daolin pointed to the magic cannon: "This cannon is just for showing you. Otherwise, if it is full of energy but does not fire, I'm afraid it will It caused an explosion. So I put a multicolored stone underneath. If it is not launched, the energy will be stored in the multicolored stone." After a pause, Chen Daolin continued to explain: "But if it is in actual combat, the multicolored stone will not It¡¯s not necessary. There is no need for a transit energy storage container. After charging, the magic cannon can be fired directly.¡±
Carmen nodded: "You mean, if this magic cannon is pushed onto the battlefield"
"It can be launched directly." Chen Daolin smiled, smiling very proudly: "I have calculated that this tidal magic engine I made can connect to twenty magic cannons under normal circumstances."
"Twenty doors" Carmen was shocked by this number.
It¡¯s not that there are no magic cannons in the Magic Academy. But in the laboratory of the Magic Academy, after years of research, one problem that cannot be overcome so far is the charging of the magic cannon.
We can¡¯t let every magic cannon be pushed onto the battlefield with half a ton of magic crystal, right?
A half-ton external battery? This is just a joke. Do you want to be used as a target?
"Do you have so many magic cannons?" Carmen thought for a moment: "Your tidal magic engine is very good, and your idea of ??magic cannons is also very good If you don't have enough here, there are still a few more in the college's laboratory. The magic cannon used for testing, well I disassembled two of them a few years ago, but they can also be assembled."
"It's not necessary for the time being." Chen Daolin smiled: "It's just a magic cannon I can get it myself."
Carmen stared at Chen Daolin, without saying a word for a long time, and then nodded slowly: "If we had such a sharp weapon, we would be much more confident in guarding the northwest fortress against the orcs. Darling Chen this magic cannon , where did you get it from? How many doors do you own?"
"Uh Anyway, it must be enough." Chen Daolin smiled.
"Can I tell you?" Are these magic cannons dug out from under the White Tower of the Royal Palace?
It¡¯s better not to say anything.
As for the quantity taking into account Dean Carmen's psychological endurance, Chen Daolin just reported a conservative number.
"About fifty."
Just this number has caused Dean Carmen to fall into silence for a long time!
Carmen stared at Chen Daolin for a long time before exhaling: "Okay you are really, really really"
It¡¯s been a long time, but I haven¡¯t seen Dean Carmen say the following words.
"I don't care where you got this kind of thing - I won't ask about the specifics. Anyway, you guys always come up with something unexpected. It's just with such a sharp weapon, I will I feel much more at ease.¡±
Dean Carmen couldn¡¯t wait to walk over and checked the magic cannon up and down several times. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
It¡¯s not a knockoff, it¡¯s a genuine magic cannon.
Dean Carmen even feels that this magic cannon is of better quality and more complete than the ones stored in the laboratory of the Magic Academy. Especially the magic lines on the base of the magic cannon. All very complete.
"Can this tidal magic engine be transported to the city wall?"
"Yes, you just need to build a few storage holes within the city wall, or build a few convex bases. Well, just like an arrow tower." Chen Daolin nodded.
"What about the cost?" Carmen asked the most critical question.
¡°This tidal wave you see??The magic engine is a prototype, well because it is something in the laboratory. Therefore, materials and other materials are relatively expensive. This magic engine costs nearly 200,000 gold coins. Well, mainly copper pipes are more expensive, and there are some magic gems. Chen Daolin said very straightforwardly: "Money is not the biggest problem, I can still afford it." but¡¡"
"But what?"
"You see, this magic engine was built by me alone. Every magic circle, every magic symbol, and magic pattern engraved on it was done by myself. I carved each symbol one symbol at a time. In terms of time, the time cost is too great. I have only built this one so far."
After saying this, Chen Daolin smiled slightly: "If you hadn't come to the northwest, I wouldn't have dared to take this thing out and put it into actual combat. Because I am the only qualified magician here, and McQueen and Sasha are too young. I need more powerful magicians, especially magicians with solid knowledge of magic and solid basic knowledge. They must be proficient in the study of magic circles and achieve certain attainments. At this point Shasha is an alchemist. , although he is a little young and irritable, he can still help me. McQueen is a student of necromancy, so he can't help at all, so"
¡°I¡¯ll help you solve the manpower issue!¡±
Carmen waved her hand and said in a firm and straightforward tone: "I have brought so many magicians this time, and among the more than sixty people, I can always pick out seven or eight that meet your requirements If it doesn't work, I will personally help you. Make it!¡±
"Of course that's good. You are the leader of the empire's magic world." Chen Daolin smiled.
"One magic engine can connect to twenty magic cannons. In other words, if you have fifty magic cannons, you need at least three magic engines. One costs 200,000 gold coins, which is 600,000 gold coins. !" Carmen frowned.
Although the Magic Academy is originally an extremely money-burning place, and a huge amount of money is invested in magic research and magic laboratories every year, but six hundred thousand gold coins is still a huge number!
The entire magic academy. The total expenditure for a year is more than one million gold coins.
The total financial revenue of the entire Roland Empire for the whole year is only tens of millions of gold coins.
In other words, the Roland Empire is willing to spend about 3% of its fiscal revenue every year to support a college, which is actually extremely generous.
"Six hundred thousand is definitely not enough." Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "Although one magic engine can be connected to up to twenty magic cannons, actually putting it into actual combat is not such a simple calculation."
"oh?"
Chen Daolin sighed, quickly walked to the table aside, took out a pen and paper, and started writing and drawing on it.
"You see, this line is like the main fortress wall of the northwest fortress. In order to achieve the best launch of the magic cannon and achieve the best coverage and killing effect, it is definitely not enough to only have three launch points on the city wall! Artillery This thing must form an area coverage to achieve the best effect. Therefore, the distribution of artillery points must be spread out. I have calculated that according to the length of the city wall and the estimated distribution of enemy attack points, we need to at least Arrange six to eight launching points on the city wall, well, eight is best!
??Eight distribution points, which means eight such magic engines are needed. There cannot be too many magic cannons linked to one engine. Keep it to five to ten doors for optimal. This can achieve the best power to the maximum extent, and there is too many external plug-ins, so more magic cannons must be arranged farther away In the channeling of energy, I am currently A better conductor has not been found. Therefore, energy will be lost during the channeling process. In other words, theoretically, the farther away the magic cannon is from the magic engine. Then the loss of magic power will be greater. "
Dean Carmen probably only understood 50% to 60% of what Chen Daolin said, but this did not affect her understanding of what Chen Daolin meant.
"Six enginesthat is to say. It requires1.2 million gold coins?"
"It's best to have eight units! Eight distribution points will increase the lethality." Chen Daolin looked at Carmen's frown and quickly smiled: "But the cost of one unit of 200,000 gold coins is the cost of the laboratory. , when it is actually put into production, because it can obtain the help of more skilled magicians and eliminate many unnecessary failures and losses during experimental manufacturing, I have calculated the cost of each unit if eight units are mass-produced. It can be reduced to about 150,000 gold coins."
¡°¡Eight units, each costing 150,000¡¡± Carmen smiled bitterly: ¡°This is not even 1.2 million gold coins. The Magic Academy only spends so much per year¡and it¡¯s still a few dollars.It will only be used up by the academy, and it also needs to support the research expenses that can maintain so many magic laboratory laboratories. "
"One million and two hundred thousand is a bit much." Chen Daolin smiled bitterly.
In fact, Chen Daolin himself was having some difficulty.
Although he is very rich, it is true. Buthis money is not endless.
Back then, a sum of wealth left by Du Wei was obtained in the underground treasure house of the Luo Lin family's castle.
But even gold and silver will always be spent.
He is engaged in construction and production in the northwest enclosure. He has to feed more than 10,000 people every day, feed the army, and invest in his own magic experiments and research
People need money to eat, drink, and have sex, right?
Does it cost money to dress and build a house?
Does the war horse cost money?
Does weapons and equipment cost money?
Especially the more than a thousand troops in the military group, this is a huge gold-swallowing beast!
With Chen Daolin¡¯s vast wealth, he is a bit timid when it comes to spending money.
Now, although I can still support it, I feel a little scared if I keep spending like this.
"If we really want to put it into actual combat, 1.2 million gold coins is just the cost of the magic engine." Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "If you want to make this thing ringthere is still a cost. The coal used to burn the stove is used to absorb the live energy. Elements, and I need to build a few windmills behind the city defense to absorb the wind element Well, there are other investments. I have calculated it, because I have to consider blast furnaces, coal fires, and magic circles. Loss, loss of magic materials, etc., soexcept for the cost of the magic engine of 1.2 million, the cost of each magic cannon firing a shot is more than 500 gold coins."
One shot costs five hundred gold coinsfifty magic cannons, and one salvo will cost twenty-five thousand gold coins! !
Where is the war here? It¡¯s like throwing gold out and killing people! !
"It's much better." Although Carmen frowned, she had to sigh: "This is already a huge breakthrough. According to the current research of the Magic Academy, it takes half a ton to fire a magic cannon. Only magic crystals will do. Energy transduction is too expensive."
Compared with half a ton of magic crystal and five hundred gold coins, the latter is naturally cheaper.
Chen Daolin thought to himself, I said fifty cannonsactually there are a hundred cannons in total.
??A hundred magic cannons fire once, which is 50,000 gold coins
Fifty thousand gold coins!
A small local nobleman like Baron Pierre will never earn so much money in his lifetime.
As a cannon rang, gold is two thousand. These words must be true.
Carmen closed her eyes and was thinking. After thinking for a long time, the dean suddenly walked to the table and summoned a piece of parchment from her own storage ring.
He picked up the pen and wrote a few lines on it, and then stamped his ring on it with fire paint.
He solemnly handed the piece of paper to Chen Daolin.
"This is the greatest financial support I can give you within my authority." Carmen sighed: "Although I am the chief member of the committee of the Magic Academy, after all I am not the real chief dean, I am just a branch dean. Long. Sothere is only so much of the college's funds that I have the authority to withdraw."
Chen Daolin picked it up and looked at it. He saw a few lines on the top and the bottom line:
"Call four hundred thousand gold coins" Chen Daolin raised his head and looked at Carmen.
"There are just so many numbers. This year, I'm afraid all research in Hogwarts Branch will be stopped, and only vegetable leaves can be eaten in the college's cafeteria!" Carmen smiled bitterly.
Four hundred thousand gold coins seems like a huge number.
But in actual calculation
Based on the 100 magic cannons owned by Chen Daolin, if one hundred cannons are fired once, it is 50,000 gold coins!
Four hundred thousand is enough to fire eight volleys. Each magic cannon can only be fired eight times! ! If there is a fierce battle situation, I am afraid that after one battle, 400,000 gold coins will be wiped out!
What is this concept?
It can be very obvious with a relatively straightforward comparison.
"At least Chen Daolin, who was originally a dead man in the real world, knows a common sense. Calculated based on the modern artillery force in the real world, taking the US military as an example, a large-caliber artillery battery is usually equipped with eight artillery pieces.
A base amount of ammunition is four hundred rounds! !
average per doorThe ammunition for the artillery is fifty rounds! Theoretically, each artillery can fire fifty shots!
But here Chen Daolin, 400,000 gold coins is just enough to fire each cannon eight times
"Eight rounds of artillery shells When encountering a war, they will be used up in one minute."
"In the era of cold weapons, the cost of playing with hot weapons is not as high as usual" Chen Daolin shed tears silently in his heart: "If I want to build a Gundam, I'm afraid I can't even throw in the entire annual revenue of the Roland Empire. Ah." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster! - Didn't finish reading?
